There are several reasons I only rate it 2 stars, and I constantly feel that the quality of this gym is not what I would expect from a university with worldwide reputation.
Firstly, the equipment. The equipment in the strength room is seriously outdated, as I feel they are almost older than me. Some of the Olympic bars are broken and not replaced, and the steel plates are badly worn out across the gym. As for the dumbbells, if I remembered it correctly, they only go up to 35 kg. So you might want to look elsewhere if you require something much heavier. On the plus side, you could do rope battling in one of the training rooms, which is not quite common I think. Apart from the free weights, lots of equipment on the upper level is actually newer. However, the space there is very packed, so you have to be cautious not to bump in the people working out next to you.
Secondly, the changing room. The changing room does not have private shower, which really put me off. Also, it smells bad due to poor ventilation. The lockers are pretty standard though, where you put in £1 coin and take the key away. However, the key is really one single piece, and it does not have a tag on it to remind you which locker you used.
Also, remember to book their induction session before you actually sign up the membership. I can't find this information on their website, so I just packed up and planned I could just pay and use the gym, which was clearly not the case according to one of the staff, and literally he said 'I have never been to a gym that does not do the induction session'. Alright then, I will keep this in mind.

reasonable priced, and has a variety of the equipments. It is sometimes overcrowded during the rush hour.

All necessary machines are available though the space is small and sometimes really packed.
